Basketball transfer portal

[cajundiehard]

As of this weekend, there are over 2000 MBB players in the portal. That is much greater than the number of starting spots available in all of D1 basketball. Even Duke lost 7 to the portal. Many of these guys will regret that decision. Tough to grow interest in the sport with that kind of annual turnover.

Agree 100%. I think that's one reason UL Diamond Sports have managed to continue to thrive. Consistency.

Yup, been saying this the past two years. 1,750 starting positions, and nobody to transferring thinking they’ll see pine time. Throw in the starters with secure positions where they are, I’d bet that 1,750 is greatly reduced. Like Jordan Brown, for example. Yeah he got paid, but probably never envisioned sitting the bench like he did.

Saw FAU’s stud is now a Florida Gator.

The portal is the beginning of the end of college athletics. If you can’t buy a team and win every year, interest will fade.

*Now 351 D1 teams, 1,755 starters.

If you can’t buy a team and win every year, interest will fade....

... and so will the money.

If there are that many out there, we should be able to find somebody.

Exactly.

I wonder when someone will track a season of portal players and document what, other than money, improved basketball wise. How many improved their pro market value. And how many ended up in a weaker position. I would hope there’s a percentage that go for a chance at a more “prestigious”/marketable degree, but figure that’s a needle in a haystack.

Absolutely-guarantee he wouldn’t delete anything at all

I tell him that myself a lot also call him a _____ because he’s always right

If I’m not mistaken invitations have already started

I heard someone talking about the new site over the weekend. DaBootratiuer did you get an invite?

[8675309]

Yes we have one good one coming in from the portal but, why not find about 3-4 more? If we don’t we are just being lazy.

The team has more than one player coming.

I'm surprised it took me this long, but this is JMV (8675309).

[CajunVic]

My invite must have gotten lost in the mail.

[R1Letterman]

Will the portal allow players to transfer sports as well?

[8675309]

Redtails, on the record I don't even know who Jmv is.

Of course it is, the J in JMV is for Jennifer.

Might be for a different thread, but speaking of transfer portal and other things the NCAA can't seem to manage, they sure came down on stAte. If I'm reading this right, soccer has to vacate records from 82 games?

You have got to be ____ting me.

Soccer????? Really??????

And football contacted a Division 2 player not yet in the portal?

Holy ____, Deon named his son the starting quarterback at Colorado before Jackson State's season was over, much less his son going in the portal.

Napier pretty much did the same thing.

If the NCAA not only isn't going to have to worry about the P5s cheating, but they are going to be complicit in holding G5s accountable for things the P5s are doing, this is just gonna be another straw on the camel's back.

What a ____ing joke.
